Wecall on Social-Democrats to pay particular attention to
F.D.’s “Tactical Notes” inLuch. How rapidly the coating of
showy conciliationism and “unification” phrase-mongering in the spirit of
Trotsky has disappeared! How clearly therealtrend ofLuch—barefaced liquidationism—has been revealed!

Ina legal organ, F.D. is waging a regular war not only against
revolutionary mass strikes (to say nothing of an uprising)1but
also against all revolutionary agitation among the masses. In point of
fact, F.D. goes much further than V.A. (LuchNo. 56), betraying
his complete ideological kinship with the Bund’s “deletion” of the
revolution. That is what comes of the liquidators’ refusal to make a
straightforward, clear and formal “appraisal of the situation”: it is in
fact Larin’s appraisal that F.D. upholds by denying theobjectiveconditions which make itimperativefor the workers to organisefor revolution, for drawing the masses in general and the
peasantry in particular into therevolutionarymovement.

Weshall come back to F.D.’s articles again.
